Wednesday, December 3, 2014 - Medium red-garnet color. Aromas slow to develop; with two hours, gives medium intensity, slightly green cabernet, of olives, thyme, cherry and cassis, leather. Medium tannin and medium acidity; stiff at age 24. Reserved in the mouth, tight. Finish is the best part, the sensation of the structure really helps the olive-y and leather-y flavors persist. Good match to prime rib sandwich with cheese-potato-herbed croquettes. Bottle #5 of six.
